This page is in progress. If you have specific questions on these or other fields, send an email to t R-FFSP-WebServicesSupport@leidos.com

• aircraftColorExtended=W:B:BK

  • 1-500 alphanumeric characters including spaces; use ":" to separate colors

  • In the above example, white is the dominant color with blue and black markings on the plane. Valid values are:

  • 

  • aircraftColor - If this field is used, when the flight is retrieved, the color will be in the aircraftColorExtended field. See: See: 10.24 Leidos Web Service Release Notes

• Gear:

  • survival=MJ   [PDMJ]

    • Polar, Desert, Maritime, Jungle

  • jackets=Light

    • Light, Fluorescent, UHF, VHF

  • numberOfDinghies=1

  • capacityOfDinghies=8

  • colorOfDinghies=yellow

  • coveredDinghies=true

  • radios=E  

    • [U V E]: U=UHF; V=VHF; E=ELT/ELBA

• pilotData - If needed, a Flight Service specialist

• will attempt to contact the pilot from the “pilotData” field in the flight plan web service. By convention, the “pilotData” field should contain the pilot's last name, first name, phone number, base airport, and base airport phone number.

  • pilotData=Joe Smith, <address>, <phone number>

• otherInfo=TALT/KFTY

  • You can specify alternate takeoff in the otherInfo field.

• radios=UVE

  • There are three possible types of radios, so include the leading character for each type you want on the flight plan.  So “UVE” is the code to indicate all three types of radios are on this flight plan (UHF, VHF, ELBA).
    “E” is the code to indicate only ELBA radios are on the flight plan

  • So this field is 1-3 characters that must be “E”, “U” and “V” (each character can only occur once in the string, order is not important)

• survival=PDMJ

  • There are four possible types of survival equipment, so include the leading character for each type you want on the flight plan.  So “PDMJ” is the code to indicate all four types are on this flight plan (Polar, Desert, Maritime, Jungle)

  • This field is 1-4 characters that must be “P”, “D”, “M” and “J” (each character can only occur once in the string, order is not important)

• jackets=LUVF

  • There are four possible types of jackets, so include the leading character for each type you want on the flight plan.  So “LUVF” is the code to indicate all four types are on this flight plan (Light, UHF, VHF, Fluorescent)

  • This field is 1-4 characters that must be “L”, “U”, “V” and “F” (each character can only occur once in the string, order is not important)
